Many have seen her on the West Coast at probably one of the more popular night spots like Stevie's on The Strip in Encino California, “Monsoons” down on the pier, “Spazio’s Restaurant” in the Valley as well at the ANSWER march against war in Hollywood California in March of this year where she marched and protested with movie writer and producer Ron Kovite, "Born on The Fourth of July" and Congress Woman Cynthia McKinney. 

The past few years, AVIS has spent performing  at "The Blue Guitar Night Club in Palm Springs, where the entire room was standing on their feet at the end of the concert cheering for more!.  She has become a regular with the Robinson's Entertainment Group and has a following booking their reservations for the up and coming events spent in Rosarita Mexico.  These R&B and Jazz excursions are always a pleasant get-a-way.  AVIS had also been called to perform at the New Disney Auditorium and the Garden of Eden to pay tribute to Ray Charles with Ellis Hall's band.  Kevin Tony and his All Star Band, formerly of the Black Birds invited Avis to perform with him at the Garden and other events.  People call Avis, because she’s good and she’s dependable.
